Chips From the Ties.

1t is reported that the Minnesota e. North
western is seriously cutting passenger rates
from Chicago to st. Paul. us modus oper-
andl i'll securing the cut rate is Claimed to be
by using the coupons of tourists tickets from
st. Louis to st. Paul via Chicago. The COM
peutorS of the Minnesota d. Northwestern
threaten to make Il reduction in the regular
rate from Chicago to St. Paul The cut rate
by the Minnesota Il Northwestern is said to
be $3.50 Chicago 10 ST. Paul, or So less than
the tariff rate.

The re can be no doubt that the Chicago

firm hold of the iron mining industry of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The men who purchased the Minnesota
Iron company's mines for $4,000, 900 a
few months ago are all more OF less
identified with the Chicago & North
western Railway company. The North
western is playing for a great stake, and
the game will be well played, too. The
Wisconsin Midland is the title assumed
by the proposed line of railroad from
Fond du Lac, Wis, to L'AnSe on Lake
Superior. The road will be built if the
money can be raised. The Duluth. South

MISTAKES IN GARDENING.
Why the MAjority OF Western Farmers Fai
in Having Good Gardens.

In HAVING GoOo Gar0enSs
The principal mistake that many
Western farmers make is in regarding
vegetable garden as thing of very
small Importance. Some think that
garden is not profitable because none
of its products are converted into
money. as are those of the field. They
NAV acknowledge that variety of fine
vegetables adds to the pleasures of the
table, but they seem to think that an
abundance of vegetables does not
diminish the amount of bread, meat
and fish that the family consumes.
They regard the latter as constituting
true food and the former merely as
condiments or appetizers. The truth
lie that good vegetable garden and a
plantation of small fruit will supply
family with more than half the food
necessary for its support. They will
afford constant and agreeable change
from diet of bread, salt meat, eggs
and potatoes. They will diminish not
only grocers' and butchers bills. but
those of doctors and druggists. They
will promote health and happiness.
which are essential to doing the work
required On a farm. A supply of fine
vegetables requires but very small
expenditure of money and only small
amount of land. The management Of
vegetable garden calls for no costly
machine.
Farmers who do have vegetable
garden, or who try to have one, often
make very grave mistake in locating
it. They desire to have it near the
house, 80 that it will be handy to do
work in and save steps for those who
wish to 60 to it to get vegetables. In
their desire to have the garden where
il will be handy they often locate is
where it will be partially shaded by the
farm buildings and the trees planted to
ornament the house lot. and where the
poultry will be constantly running to
it. To keep the fowls out fence is
necessary, which is quite costly to
erect. while it will shade the
ground, that should receive the
full sunshine. The fence prevents
the free use of the pillow, harrow
and cultivator, and makes it neces-
sary to perform almost all the work by
hand 1t also encourage the growth
of grass and weeds. which serve to
form a safe retreat for vermln. BY
locating garden several rods from the
house the expense of fence is saved.
the shade of trees and buildingsis obvi-
ated trouble caused by fowls ID
avoided and the use of implements
